Homebrew [Release] Manga Reader

[Shadowtrance]

The name of the manga is in green when you choose it, right?

yeah i just noticed you have to press down to highlight the sub folder and it goes green. but then i press A and nothing happens, just hangs there and have to power off.

Same here again.

lol we're having a great run aren't we?
First it won't even load for me with the included LPP 3dsx file (black screen), so i replaced it with the latest i built from source and it loads now but that's about it. haha

Mine worked with the included one, at least until you try to read a manga, lol.

Yeah i got no idea why the included one just gives me a black screen, even tried the "official" LPP R3 release (same size, so i guess same file) and get the same result, black screen after loading it.
Might be something to do with themehax seeing as that's how i load HB Menu now, no idea.

That's odd. I'm using themehax too.
Anyway, the names of the files inside the Volume-1-Chapter1 folder?

I use themehax and it loaded fine. Oh well, at least it loads now I guess.

@MyLegGuy
My setup is /3ds/MangaReader/Manga/images/0001.jpg to 0213.jpg
I specified in the options that pointless zeros = 3
I am having the same issue as Shadowtrance

And it's freezing rather than saying it can't load the first page?

Dare I ask what the size of your first page is?

2550x3300 in pixels

Yeah i just tested something in Citra (cbf ftp'ing atm), removed the first couple of pages and renamed the 3rd page as 1.jpg and it loads the image. So I'm guessing the 3ds/citra don't like huge images. The page 1 (cover) i deleted resolution is 3170x1408, same with page 2 (2047x1408) lol page 3 is 953x1408 and it loads.

Yeah, looks like the 3ds has a limit on how big loaded images can be.

If you still want to read manga on your 3ds, I suggest resizing the images with a program I found called Fotosizer.

It's a great program because it's free, and you can convert a lot of images all at once instead of selecting them one by one. If you want to use this, go to the destination settings and make it so the output file name is the same as the original.

I tried resizing your first two pages to be 75% of their original size and it loaded! And they still looked quite nice.

Man, I just deleted all of the images assuming they would be impossible to resize.

Why would they be impossible to resize? lol There's photoshop, gimp, inkscape and numerous other photo editing programs that can resize images.

I just went and release 1.4 for almost no point.
Just to keep people from getting an error from pressing A when nothing's selected.

Makes it so you start on the first file when you enter a sub directory. Instead of the zeroth file.

*Resize and still look good
*Resize and not have to do images one by one

Valid points
But lets be honest, these huge images resized aren't gonna look good on the tiny resolution of the 3ds screens anyway.

True. I guess I will just use this as a reference when making my own applications.
